    For some reason … I am now going to have the Immigrant Song stuck in my head all day long.

    Rolling Stone Magazine hated Led Zeppelin. Even today, it is fashionable to hate Zep. I was never one to be “in fashion”. Physical Graffiti is a great album. Kashmir, from Disk 1, only whets the appetite. Disk 2 is even better.

    I’ve never been mistaken for fashionable, but most Zep bored me stiff back then. Oh, I learned all the Jimmy Page licks I could, and I was in a zillion bands that played a zillion Zep songs, but a lot of their album stuff just wooooooore on me.

    Zep is like Fleetwood Mac; I’ve only started to develop an appreciation for it in the last few years.

    I was big into Zep when I was in 8th grade, then John Bonham died my freshman year in HS, I switched my allegience to the Who (but was never a stoner) Still have not gotten into Fleetwodd Mac, Though when a Zep song comes on the radio, you have to crank it up. My 15 year old nephew is now getting into Zep, makes you feel really old

    You know what I love? Hearing about how much Rolling Stone trashed so many of the classic 60’s/70’s bands in their heyday and now that they’ve shown their endurance in terms of popularity, they’ve inevitably ended up in respectable places on their banal “best of” lists.

  7. Rob says:

    Rolling Stone didn’t care much for bands of the 70s. The 60s were everything to them.

  8. kevin says:

    never liked the stones. Never got what people saw in them

    I’m not a big Stones fan, either. People usually start shouting at me when I say this, trying to convince me otherwise – or berate me, in general.

    My favorite Stones song is Paint it Black – which – to my mind – doesn’t really sound like the rest of their stuff. Love that song.

  10. Emily says:

    WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, O’MALLEY!?!? DON’T YOU HAVE ANY TASTE AT ALL?!?!? You don’t like the mutha@#$%&$* STONES?

    Oh wait. I just remembered. I don’t really like the Rolling Stones all that much either. Never mind.

    On the one hand, the hierarchy of British Invasion bands in a just universe is The Who, then the Kinks, then the Beatles, then the Stones.

    On the other hand, listening to “Exile On Main Street” is as cathartically glorious an experience as rock and roll offers.
